Introduction Idiopathic reactive hypoglycemia (IRH) is poorly understood. Some believe that overconsumption of refined carbohydrates induces insulin release, a drop in blood glucose (BG), and a surge in counter-regulatory hormones. The objective of this retrospective study was the relationship between ...

A. Hypoglycemia is the sudden decrease in blood glucose levels, to an amount where the body experiences signs and symptoms such as confusion, fast heart rate, altered consciousness state and even fainting. This is usually a result of medications taken for diabetes. In most cases, hypoglycemia is...

As long as insulin is used, hypoglycemia will be a dangerous side effect. An important consequence of chronic severe hypoglycemia is encephalopathy. Patients may die of encephalopathy even after blood glucose values have been improved or entirely normalized. Formation of antibodies or allergic reactions...
Comparative effects of short-term and long-term insulin-induced hypoglycemia on glucose production in the perfused livers of weaned rats. The liver glucose production (LGP) levels of 15-h overnight fasted weaned rats submitted to short-term insulin-induced hypoglycemia (ST-IIH) and long-term ....

4. Meglitinides The meglitinides, repaglinide and nateglinide, are short-acting glucose-lowering drugs for therapy of patients with type 2 diabetes alone or in combination with metformin. They were designed to achieve more physiologic insulin release and less risk for hypoglycemia. They are ...
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test The OGTT is the primary test used for the diagnosis of GH hypersecretion. After an overnight fast, 75 to 100 g of oral glucose will cause a suppression of serum GH. Blood samples are obtained every 30 minutes for 2 hours. Using an ultrasensitive assay, failur...
